   How to bake carp in the oven with vegetables? Prepare all the products listed in the recipe. You can take frozen fish or it is better to use freshly caught fish. If you have frozen carp, remove it from the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until completely defrosted.

2. STEP 2

   

   Clean the fish from scales, gut it and remove the gills. Peel the potatoes, a couple of cloves of garlic and the onion. Cut the bell pepper lengthwise into two parts, remove the core and seeds. Wash the fish and all vegetables in clean cold water and dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the lemon. Cut half the citrus into thin slices.

   In a deep small container, mix vegetable or olive oil, a couple of cloves of garlic, passed through a press, salt to taste, a mixture of ground peppers and dry herbs. Squeeze the remaining half lemon.

   Coat the underside of the fish with marinade using a silicone brush. Stuff the carp belly with onions, lemon, tomatoes and lightly salt the vegetables.

8. STEP 8

   

   Line a baking pan with parchment paper. To prepare carp with vegetables, it is better to use a wide sheet so that the vegetables and fish can be distributed in one layer. Place potatoes, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes on a sheet and place the carp in the middle. Make cuts on the carcass as in the photo.

   Insert half a lemon wedge into each cut. Wash the head of garlic, dry it and cut it in half. Place on a baking sheet. Coat the carp and garlic with the remaining marinade.

It’s good that there are so many recipes for cooking fish on our website. You can prepare it differently every time. My husband loves fish very much, especially baked fish. After all, there are so many useful things in it, and baking is considered a gentle way of cooking. True, the author has a mirror carp, and I have a small carp, but it is also a carp) This recipe produces not only fish (protein), but also fiber in the form of vegetables. Baking occurs quickly at high temperature, while the vegetables do not have time to lose all their vitamins. I had frozen tomatoes and bell peppers, I doused them with warm water and laid them on top of the potatoes. I also took purple onions, I myself like them in any form. Lemon is always useful for marinating fish, but here it is also inserted into the cuts, it perfectly removes the smell. I would especially like to thank you for the idea of ​​using garlic. Usually it is not baked with fish. But after 15 minutes from the moment of baking, such an appetizing aroma of garlic floated through the kitchen that I myself wanted to eat this fish, although I don’t eat much of it. It's very tasty! At the same time, the fish itself only smells like garlic, but is soaked in the usual juices of vegetables and lemon. The fish turned out great, we had a full dinner! Thanks for the recipe!
